I added a dwarf lion to my 125 about 4 weeks ago and after the second day I haven't seen him since. I added some ghost shrimp and guppies for the first week (all disappeared). I have searched the tank with a flashlight several times after the lights went out with no sign of him. No carcass...

I'm dosing BRS two part Alk and Calcium and haven't been able to reach an equalibrium. I started dosing with a level of Calcium at 390 and 10 ml per day dosing of each. I have gradually increased to 25ml of Cal and 20 of Alk and still seem to be chasing my target of 420. What levels are you...

O.K, now I know that I need to put a screen over my overflow boxes, but for the problem at hand: my smaller (male) clown has jumped into my overflow box. I have a dual internal overflow boxes on my 125 gallon reef. No way I can get him out with a net that I see, if I get near him he shoots to...

To all, I have been manually addind B-ionic two part for calcium and alk twice a week. Dosing about 60 ml of Cal and 30 ml of Alk and maintaining 400 and 8.5. I have recently acquired 2 aquahouse automatic dosers and the BRS Cal, alk and mag package. Question is concentration? Using the...

How many blue green chromis would I need to get a good schooling effect? I'm looking for some activity and I really like the schooling look. I'm thinking 6, they'd be joining a yellow tang, two clowns, and a lawnmower blenny in my 125 gl. Thanks.

My new 125 has been up and running for a week and I'm starting to plan for future growth. I moved a year old 55 gallon with about 75 pounds of live rock and added another 90 lbs of new live rock. Water is testing at 0 tries and trates, Ph 8.4, salinity .0024, temp steady at 78-80 . All doing...

I took the plunge and have acquired a 125 to replace my 55. I seem to have out grown it. My problem is I need to set up the new tank in the same place the curent tank sits. I am not using the 55, I have a 30 to use as a sump. Here's my tentative plan, please let me know if you see fatal...

I've been running a reef tank in my 55 for about 6 months and I'm addicted. Everything is healthy, no problems. I'm using and old penguin hob filter, ehiem canister and a RO hob Skimmer. Planning to upgrade to a 125 next month. What differences in maintenance should I expect. I'll be...

Bummer. While I was away today somehow my little three stripe damsel got sucked into my HOB skimmer. He had to of jumped to get into the protective basket for the intake. Poor guy survived my uneducated fish cycling process only to die this way. Making it worse, he clogged it enough to raise...
